Creation and animation

Language: English after the German (Deutsch)

Adam the lad was a lump of earth
that God made into a man,
but when he emerged from his mother's womb
a lot was still not finished off.
God took his nose and into it
he blew the best spirit,
but it soon became apparent there was more to do
because he started to sneeze.
With these bones and limbs and head
he remained only half a lump,
until eventually Noah, to complete the oaf,
found the right thing - a bottle.
The lump immediately felt the uplifting effect
as soon as he encountered this liquid,
it was just like dough when yeast
sets it in motion.
So, Hafiz, may your noble song,
your holy example,
Lead us, through the clinking of glasses
to our creator's temple.
